INJURY UPDATE 🤕 Firmino, van Dijk, Diaz: full Liverpool injury list and potential return matches – gallery

Liverpool injury news on Virgil van Dijk, Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, James Milner, Arthur Melo and Calvin Ramsay.

 

Liverpool begin the defence of their FA Cup on Saturday when they welcome Wolves to Anfield.

The Reds claimed the silverware last season when defeating Chelsea on penalties at Wembley.

And with Jurgen Klopp’s side already out of the Premier League title race, along with the Carabao Cup, the historic competition is just one of two trophies they can still win this season.

Liverpool have endured a stuttering season and the 3-1 loss to Brentford earlier this week leaves them sixth in the table and in a battle to finish in the Champions League places.

But the FA Cup can prove somewhat of a distraction and Klopp will be eyeing a victory.

Ahead of the clash, here is the latest injury news at Anfield.
